Very predictable result in Stockholm where fourth ranked Solna Vikings (11-5) defeated 10th ranked Jarfalla (4-12) 73-62.

Louise Angel (190-C-91) put on an amazing game in the last round for league's second-best Alvik Basket and that's her to receive a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 12.The 25-year old center had a double-double of 20 points and twelve rebounds, while her team outclassed Visby (#9, 1-9) with 38-point margin 106-68. Alvik Basket maintains the 2nd position in Swedish Damligan. They are still close to the very top. Alvik Basket would have been even better if they kept winning the games like in the last round. They have a solid 9-2 record. It's Angel's second year at Alvik Basket and it's hard to imagine this team without her. Louise Angel averages this season 8.3ppg and 7.1rpg.

The second most remarkable performance in last round's games was 23-year old American forward Danielle McCray (185-F-93) of Visby. McCray impressed basketball fans with a double-double of 28 points and 12 rebounds. Bad luck as Visby lost that game 68-106 to the higher-ranked Alvik Basket (#2, 9-2). Visby managed to keep the same 9th spot in the standings. 9 lost games are too many comparing to just one victory Visby managed to get this year. McCray is a newcomer at Visby and it seems she did not have too much trouble to become one of team's leaders. She belongs to the best scorers in the league with 17.8ppg (#5). She also registered 9.9 boards per game.

The third best performed player last round was another Alvik Basket's star - international guard Klara Lundquist (171-PG-99). Lundquist scored 20 points and passed eight assists. She was another key player of Alvik Basket, helping her team with a 106-68 easy win against the lower-ranked Visby (#9, 1-9). Alvik Basket is closer and closer to top of the standings. They will still need more victories. But 9-2 record is not that bad... Lundquist has a great season in Sweden. After 11 games, she made it on the list of the league's leaders in points with 18.1ppg (4th best) and assists with 5.5apg (2nd best).
